  • incline sensor 16 is illustrated in plan view in Fig 2A and in a cross-sectional side view in Fig 2B .
  • the incline sensor 16 uses a force feedback accelerometer.
  • a mass 50 is suspended between two pairs of electromagnets 52, where each pair is aligned along a different orthogonal axis x or y.
  • These axes x, y are orthogonal to a major axis z of the incline sensor and the incline sensor 16 detects inclines of a major plane perpendicular to the major axis i.e. it detects rotations about the x axis and the y axis.
  • a rotation about the x axis may alternatively be described as an incline in the yz plane and a rotation about the y axis may alternatively be described as an incline in the xz plane.
  • the mass moves and power is applied to the electromagnets 52 to re-center the mass.

  • FIG. 3A Another type of incline sensor 16 is illustrated in plan view in Fig. 3A and in a cross-sectional side view in Fig. 3B .
  • the incline sensor 16 uses a sealed vessel 40 partially filled with a dielectric liquid 42.

  • the incline sensor 16 has a major axis z that lies in both the first and second plane and is perpendicular to a major plane of the sensor. The incline sensor 16 detects inclination of the major plane.
  • incline sensor 16 Other types may also be used.
  • the mobile cellular telephone typically has a menu structure, which is displayed on the display 14 and which a user can navigate using the user input device.
  • One option within the menu structure is "Inclinometer”. If this option is selected, the mobile telephone enters an inclinometer mode. In this mode the processor 12 operates as described below.
  • the processor 12 emulates two spirit levels on the display 14. As illustrated in Figs. 4A, 4B and 4C , the processor, when in the inclinometer mode, controls the display 14 to display a first horizontal bar 30 and a second, separate vertical bar 32.
  • the terms 'horizontal' and 'vertical' refer to their relative orientation in the display and not to an absolute orientation.
  • the position of an item 34, in this case a representation of a bubble, within the first horizontal bar 30 indicates the sense and amount of rotation about a first axis.
  • the item 34 is positioned at a central position 35 in the horizontal bar 30 when there is zero rotation about the first axis and moves, as the mobile telephone is rotated about the first axis, from or towards the central position 35, in real-time, in a direction opposite to the direction of rotation of the mobile telephone 10.
  • the position of an item 36, in this case a representation of a bubble, within the vertical bar 32 indicates the sense and amount of rotation about a second axis.
  • the item 36 is positioned at a central position 37 in the vertical bar 32 when there is zero rotation about the second axis and moves, as the mobile telephone is rotated about the second axis, from or towards the central position 37, in real-time, in a direction opposite to the rotation of the mobile telephone 10.
  • the processor 12 calculates, from an input received from the incline sensor 16, offset values i and j .
  • the value i may have a positive or negative value and specifies the displacement of the item 34 to the right of the central mark 35 in the horizontal bar 30.
  • a positive value is represented on the display 12 by a positive displacement of item 34 to the right of the central mark 35 and a negative value is represented by a displacement to the left.
  • the value j may have a positive or negative value and specifies the displacement of the item 36 above the central mark 37 in the vertical bar 32.
  • a positive value is represented on the display 12 by a positive displacement of the item 36 above the central mark 37 and a negative value is represented by a displacement below.
  • direction and amount of offset of an item from the central position indicates the direction and amount the mobile telephone should be rotated to return it to zero rotation.

  • the major axis z of the operational incline sensor 16, for this orientation, is parallel with the displayed horizontal bar 30, so that at a level position the major axis z is parallel with g.
  • the y axis is parallel with the vertical bar 32 and the x axis is perpendicular to the y axis and the major axis z.
  • the operational incline sensor 16 detects the incline of the surface 60.

  • the surface 60 may be brought level by changing its inclination until the items 34, 36 are located at their respective central marks 35, 37.
  • Figs 4A, 4B and 4C illustrate three applications of the invention.
  • Each application uses the mobile telephone 10 in a different orientation to measure the incline of a plane and each requires a particularly aligned incline sensor 16 to do this.
  • Different mobile telephones 10 may comprises different ones of the necessary incline sensors 16.
  • One mobile telephone 10 may have only a single incline sensor 16 and is consequently on usable in only one of 'upright'. 'sideways' and 'flat' orientations illustrated respectively in Figs 4A, 4B and 4C depending upon the orientation of the major axis z of the incline sensor in the mobile telephone 10..
  • Another mobile telephone 10 may have three incline sensors and be able to be used 'upright'. 'sideways' or 'flat' to measure inclined planes.
  • the user may, after selecting the 'Inclinometer' option from the menu be asked to select the orientation of the phone when resting on the plane whose inclination is to be measured.
  • there may be user selectable options 'upright', 'sideways' and 'flat'. Selection of an option enables the incline sensor 16 that has a major axis perpendicular to the plane to be measured, when there is zero incline.
  • the processor 12 may automatically select one of the three incline sensors to be operational. The processor 12 selects the incline sensor 16 that provides an output within predetermined limits as operational.
  • Fig. 5 illustrates an alternative way of displaying the amount and sense of an incline of a plane on the display 14.
  • the processor would calculate a value i that may have a positive or negative value and specifies the displacement of the item 34 to the right of the central mark 35 in the horizontal bar 30.
  • the processor also calculates a value j that may have a positive or negative value and specifies the displacement of the item 36 to above the central mark 37 in the vertical bar 32.
  • the processor still calculates the values i and j but positions a single item 60 at position (i, j ) in the display.
  • the processor also display a central 'target' 62 over (0,0).
  • the vector displacement of the item 60 from the target 62 indicates the amount and sense of incline of the surface 60 supporting the mobile telephone 10. As the surface 60 is brought level, the item moves, in real time, towards the target. When it reaches the target the plane is level in both dimensions.
